Switch on any news channel, three out of ten times, you are bound to find some breaking news on a new bomb blast or new leads into the investigation proceeding. A host of talk and debate shows are aired on television for weeks after each blast, wherein the spokesperson for various political parties turn up and and compare how successful their govt is/was (depending on which side of the table they are) compared to the other govt. The very purpose of such debates is completely zilch, serving no purpose whatsoever. Instead bringing to the forefront the very lack of nationalism, spirit of rising for a greater cause, partisan politics and n no. of such other virtues which the political leaders for any country should display.
There are others who want a ban on other fascist and radical religious groups too, their argument being that you cannot classify and differentiate between terrorism. I don't support or counter the above argument. But I just feel that there is much more which can be done at the political and administrative levels, if police, intelligence and the politicians rise above for a greater national and human cause.
But the winner in all the turmoil are the religious fanatics, the terrorists, who have managed to achieve their goal of spreading terror in the hearts and minds of people on the street and markets. But terror is just a mean to a larger goal, will they actually succeed in realizing the end.... I don't think so. Recent slew of reports suggest how the Indian Muslim's are living under the threat of terror, terror of being picked up as a suspected terror link, terror of denial by follow citizens. The very foundation of Indian Republic, is it's secularism and communal harmony. The people taking up humanity as the only religion, is a dream which looks too distant... atleast in the present scenario.
